Projects we can help with
Start with the home and the change you are considering.
London projects can be spatially tight, technically complex or planning-sensitive, but the project type still gives the clearest starting point.
Explore all Project TypesHouse Extensions
Use additional space carefully.
Extensions should improve the existing house as well as add floor area, with neighbouring relationships and site constraints considered early.
Loft Conversions
Make roof space genuinely useful.
Head height, stairs, structure, fire strategy and planning context all need to work together.
Home Renovations
Rethink the space already there.
Reconfiguration can improve light, flow, storage and room relationships without assuming every project needs a larger footprint.
New Build Homes
Start with the site and brief.
One-off new or replacement homes shaped around context, planning, buildability and the way the household wants to live.

Residential architecture in London
Clear design decisions before complexity starts to multiply.
London projects often bring several decisions together at once: existing constraints, neighbours, planning, structure, access and the way limited space needs to work harder. The architectural route should connect those questions rather than treat them as separate jobs.
